However, Russia's February 24 invasion of Ukraine has left tens of thousands dead, displaced millions, and sown economic strife across the world.
Most of those killed or injured were the victims of explosive weapons such as artillery, missiles, and air strikes, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) said.
Moscow calls its campaign a "special military operation" to demilitarise Ukraine and protect Russian-speaking communities. The Ukrainian president, Zelensky, said Russia had "embarked on a path of evil."
